I just helped my mom pack to head back to Alaska. I packed her meds, I filled an entire Cabellas soft sided fish and tackle bag with all her meds, she even had some in her purse. I'm currently saving up for your class so I can get her off all that crap.

My wife's sweet mom came to live with us on 14 different meds. She could hardly walk around, was very confused, didn't know her brothers' names....etc. With the supervision of her doctor we got her off all but two of them. She went through drug withdrawals for several months and then, bingo, she was back. Her mind was bright, she was active, etc....Drugs can be great tools. But they can also be a travesty when prescriptions are piled on with no regard for what's already being taken and without regular assessment to see if they need to be discontinued or changed.

@@HomeGrownHerbalist My little mama was a polio survivor. She had bulbar bilaterally. One side to the waist, then it crossed and went down the other side of her body. She was never supposed to walk, but did that and had 4 kids to boot, me when she was nearly 40. Because she outlived most in her condition, western docs didn't know and didn't care how to treat her post polio, aging body. They piled on pain meds. At one point, she weighed 115#, and they had her on 10mg Percocet every 4 hours and a 72-hour fentanyl patch simultaneously. The poor woman was out of her mind and couldn't poop. No pain meds helped. It was in a medically legal marijuana state, and a doc finally prescribed cannabis. It was the only thing that helped her, and we tried it all. We got her off nearly everything. Pain screws up so many bodily functions! But finally, before she closed her eyes one last time (because a med she didn't want was forced), she could manage the pain and knew us. God bless you for taking care of your MIL and letting her see the bright colors again. That's how my mom described coming out of the drug stupors...like going from black and white to seeing bright spring and summer again. She is who helped me plant my first tomatoes, and I want to help others in her honor. We were never close, but I think perhaps I can honor her this way. Thank you again, and God bless.

I love learning that it can stimulate or restore hyaluronic acid! I have a lot of problems with connective tissue, joints…all that since chronic tick-borne disease (Lyme). I wondered if hyaluronic acid could help with joint fluidity and asked my chiropractor. He looked into it and, sure enough, studies had been done that showed it makes a difference at about 70+ mg a couple times a day.

lesta reiff, I do not know if it works for an insect sting but I would think using a tincture and crushing the flowers and applying to the area would also be helpful. I do know that plantain leaf helps draw out toxins and have used it on my bites. The sting subsides almost immediately and plantain grows everywhere.

Thank you for these short introductions to the course that I have already paid for. Before I can start my course, I must get my companion of 13 years settled in a permanent hospital care situation but right now the VA is taking care of him and so am I. Thank you from the heart of my bottom for taking my money and waiting for me for the whole rest of my life, unlike that other unfortunate woman whose husband got cancer who signed up for another school. Thank you thank you this little snippet was terrific. The clover one was very interesting, all the clover I’ve eaten over the years has helped me be as old as I am and I can hardly wait to get to a longer commentary I will get over to the library and sit down every day for 2 1/2 hours with you. Then I will get out to my raised beds that I have hired my snowplow man to build, and I will have the best old age summer I’ve ever had. I’m in Maine.

I hope you are having success with the echinachea. It was one of my very first natural remedies to work with 20 years ago. The root is what I use...digging around a plant and removing a few choice roots. This allows the plant to continue growing. I make a decoction by cutting into half inch pieces and simmering for 15 minutes in filtered water or spring water. Then I freeze small amounts which I can remove anytime of the year as needed. Just warm it up and it's amazing. It's always good to drink for any cold or flu. I've used it safely as a compress on my eye for stys. Make poison ivy disappear within a couple of days. Calms a stinging nettle rash. When my son was small and quite sick..he said "mom..make me some of that root." I boiled water ..poured it over the snow and ice to get a piece of root to make him a medicine. He's a doctor now and we have so many more plants that we have learned to use. Echinachea to me is like Gold ❤🎉

Wonderful news! I just collected about 15 young echinacea plants that went through their first summer up from seeds. They were being removed in favor of fall planting in a public garden. So I put them in my garden and trimmed them back after their last blooms died. I figure if I mulch them over winter, they may bloom next year, and after the 3rd year, I could divide the roots. Hopefully they'll provide blooms and roots for tinctures and herbal tea infusions.

@@cindyrobertson3798 Good point! But I'm a master gardener intern, and was trained by the ones who manage that garden. They use earth-friendly methods, great soil and compost, and only use sources who don't spray mulch. The garden leader saw me keep back the echinacea and smiled, impressed. I only wish I'd brought hand tools on another garden tour he led, because it had lots of camelia sinensis growing that was going to be pulled out. That's a fabulous tea plant! Oh, well. Next time I'll be ready.

Perhaps a silly question, and I know I won't phrase it correcty...do plants raised for medicinal purposes benefit from being planted with certain others? Is there like a root party underground that can make some more potent? Do pollinators cross-contaminate for our good? Can the opposite be true? Is it such a small thing that it is negligible, or are neighbors important in my garden? I have planted medicinals for years, usually don't harvest because life happens and I get perfection paralysis. If that's a silly question, just smile and nod at the slow kid lol.
